Paddle Key Largo to Key West March 2013

March 17-27, 2013: Join the exclusive list of those who have paddled the entire 100-mile island chain on the signature trip inspired by our award-winning book, the Florida Keys Paddling Atlas (participants receive a complimentary copy on booking).

Beginning in Key Largo with a St. Patrick's dinner, we'll paddle 10 days across Caribbean blue waters to land at the southernmost point in mainland USA.

New in 2013, we're taking paddlers Gulfside to traverse the vast Lower Keys Backcountry for a more primitive and remote experience.

Fully-outfitted trip includes kayak, camping gear and all meals. Optional massages during the rest day at the halfway point!

Limited to 8 paddlers, this trip has filled up the last 2 years, so don't delay! 

5-Day Half Marathon Option: March 23-27

Day 9 Key Largo to Key West finale

Our last day paddling from Key Largo to Key West dawned clear and beautiful as we departed from Geiger Key Marina & Campground. As we passed Boca Chica Beach, we were treated to an airshow by NAS Key West. Here’s a video of an F-18 practice landing right over Bill’s kayak!

From there, much of this side of the islands are undeveoped and you can see lots of birds and sealife. My kayak passed right over a 4-foot loggerhead sea turtle sitting on the bottom!

We took out at Lazy Dog Adventures, where Sue is kind enough to let us haul out our boats. Our good friend Christine met us with the van and helped us load up, then we all sat down with a cold pitcher of Key West Sunset Ale from Hurricane Joe’s.

We’re thinking this route would make a great day trip for next season’s trips, starting with breakfast at Geiger Key Smokehouse and ending with the sunset celebration at Mallory Square. If you’re interested, email us!

Paddle with the Authors in the Florida Keys!

Beginning in January, 2010 we'll be leading guided trips from the pages of our award-winning Florida Keys Paddling Atlas.

Imagine a romantic weekend getaway toasting the sunset from your own island, or spending Spring Break paddling to the southernmost point in the U.S.
